Ibrahim Abu Shaaban sits with his wife in their tent on Thursday, June 13, 2024 in Deir al Balah, Gaza Strip. The couple had planned to perform the Hajj pilgrimage this year, but like all Palestinians in the coastal enclave of Gaza were not able to travel to Mecca because of the closure of the Rafah crossing in May when Israel extended its ground offensive to the strip's southern city of Rafah on the border with Egypt.
